Most people now know of the news of Jack Layton’s passing.
I’m pleased to see that even those who did not agree with his political views still admired him for standing behind his beliefs. In his final letter that he wrote, we see even in his final days he was still concerned about the future of his party and the country.
One of the best quotes was the final paragraph of his letter, in it there is a message that Canadians of all political sides should read and think about.
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.
I’ll let more clever minds debate on what this means for Canadian politics, myself I see the loss of someone that cared.
